We live in a small town. It does not have any exciting activities to offer visitors. My children call it a one-horse town.
我们住在一个小镇上,没什么可以吸引游客的东西。我的孩子把这个地方称为偏僻小镇(one-horse town)。
Last night, I got a telephone call while I was watching my favorite television show. I decided not to answer it because wild horses could not drag me away from the television. There was nothing that could stop me from doing what I wanted to do.
昨晚,在我观看最爱的电视节目时有人给我打电话,我决定不理会它。因为八抬大轿都不能把我从电视机前抬走(wild horses could not drag me away from the television)-- 什么事也无法阻止我做想做的事情。
Sometimes you get information straight from the horses mouth. It comes directly from the person who knows most about the subject and is the best source. Let us say your teacher tells you there is going to be a test tomorrow. You could say you got the information straight from the horses mouth. However, you would not want to call your teacher a horse!
有时候你从可靠渠道(straight from the horse’s mouth)获得消息。这些消息直接来自最了解情况的人,最可靠的渠道。比如说,老师告诉你明天将举行测验,你可以说你得到了“最可靠的消息(straight from the horse’s mouth)。但是,你并不是想把老师称作马。
